"The thoughts of this remix are very simple, in the first half the bird is in the cage, in the second half the bird, or maybe it`s only the soul, escapes"
// Popnoname

"I wanted to make Only for Tonight sound big and heavy, like a moving train. Keeping the vocals almost intact to preserve the original feeling of the song"
// DisRelatedKin

"I played with the feeling of frustration in the lyrics and recorded vocals, it is a balance between sweet emotions and melancholic frustration. I found it especially fun to slice up and make glitch like melodies of the key fiddle track since it is such a classical Swedish instrument"
// Harald Björk

"The Studio Barnhus remix of Fog Dancer transforms the sweet and eerie pop song into a chaotic house jam, letting Juno chords and basslines set the pace for the slow, steady groove, sprinkled with cut up vocals and drums from the original track”
// Kornél Kovács

”I was really glad and excited about remixing a "non-techno track", and to work with vocal tracks. I decided to make something dark, really different from the original and to disturb the song structure. As I really like the original song, it was easy to come up with ideas and I enjoyed working on the remix”
// Clara Moto

"I did the remix quite on impulse. I didn't use any sequencers for it, just cutting up the guitars in CoolEdit and layering them before recording the mixdown to tape. I did it in an evening, though I don't feel like it was rushed. I'm really happy with it”
// Nathan Fake
